With green coloured roof ab initio, subsequent colour combination on outer wall is spot on as far as I am concerned

The reactions are only but natural. Some may have followed the project from inception hoping to see the building finished off with inviting color combinations. Well, like you said, it's all about the tenants being comfortable inside.

Yes, you are right.. I did follow the thread from the inception too... and still I "personally" don't like the paints but that is personal.
The owner knows best what he wanted and how he wanted it like that.
If Spyder build a house for me and I told him to paint it Pink, and he painted it Red, I will sue his pants off... So the owner wins. smiley

@spyder880. Iam considering doing a small partitioning with wood in my sitting room. Do you have an idea of the type of wood that will be suitable for this.

I think plywood will serve you better.

Do you really think the colour of paints can add or remove anything from the expected rental income of a finished house? http://amazingviewpoints..com/?m=1

Still looking out to see what there is not to like about the colors here. Actually, I am indifferent. I however don't believe external colors have any impact on the decision to rent a property or not. Demand for flats is far higher than supply so you may just miss the flat while debating the suitability of the color. As for the interior colors, I will just repaint to suit my taste if I don't like what I meet on ground.

Determinant of rental income is primarily location (and to some extent power availability and portable water).

We brought in and mounted an electric pole for power supply in this house, wires and connection of light to be done tomorrow.


Oga Spyder, please in theory what is the process in mounting the concrete pole? Is there an iron basket required below the earth?
Or just dig hole and pour concrete mortar? I think I am going for the concrete pole for the life span. Thanks.

The mounting process does not require any basket or reinforcement below the ground. We dig deep to about 1.2 meters of narrow hole and then drop in the pole. Thereafter we cast with concrete.
